Cal, Stanford on air in L.A.

Published 4:00 am, Friday, January 25, 2002

Although Fox Sports Net's exclusivity rights prevented last night's Cal-USC game from being televised in the Bay Area, that won't be a problem tomorrow. Northern California fans will have the opportunity to see both Stanford and Cal against the Los Angeles schools.

At 3 p.m., KGO (Channel 7) will carry the ABC regional telecast of the Cardinal-Trojans game. Stanford's Casey Jacobsen (19.7 ppg before last night) and USC's Sam Clancy (17.7 ppg, 9.4 rpg before last night) are the marquee players in this one. There's a decent chance they could defend each other.

Former Atlantic Coast Conference players Terry Gannon (N.C. State) and Jay Bilas (Duke) will call the game for ABC.

Then at 5 p.m., FSN will have the Bears-Bruins game from Pauley Pavilion. This game boasts two of the Pac-10's top freshmen: Cal centerJamal Sampson and UCLA guard Cedric Bozeman. They were teammates last year at Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana (Orange County).
